We can infer that the reason Abigail was discharged from Goody Proctor's service is that Goody Proctor (Mrs. Proctor) discovered the affair between John Proctor and Abigail. This interpretation is supported by the context of the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, where the personal conflicts and relationships among the characters play a significant role in the plot. Abigail's dismissal is primarily linked to her inappropriate relationship with John Proctor, which would have caused tension and distrust in the Proctor household.
